It has become painfully apparent that I wear a stocking cap far too much. The only time one is not on my head is when I'm sleeping, showering, or at work. Yesterday a kid complemented me on my new look....it was the same look as always, only I actually combed my hair and wasn't wearing a stocking cap. The kid was serious too. Today, I found out that one of the girls in my french class saw me on campus the other day and didn't recognize me....I wasn't wearing my stocking cap.....weird, huh? One of my professors actually hints that he dislikes me wearing my hat everyday. Almost every class period he makes a comment about how it was disrepectful to wear hats in class 30 years ago......and yet I continue to wear my stocking cap. Why exactly do I wear my hats, you may be asking yourself.....well, it is the simple problem of my hair. See, back in the days before college, I got my hair cut every 4 weeks. It was like clock work. I haven't gotten it cut since October. Needless to say, my hair is just weird right now. It combs....kind of....but it just is weird. I cannot describe it. So I wear my stocking caps to cover it up whenever I can. The only problem is, I cannot wear hats at work. So then I have to take it off and bear my shame.....until work is done. Then I put it back on again. At the same time, I don't JUST wear the hats for my hair....it's something else too. I say hats with an "s" because I have three different stocking caps. (baseball hats are a different deal, but I have three of those too) My Minnesota Gophers stocking cap is most frequently worn. See, going to school in Iowa, a Minnesotan must show their heritage whenever possible. So when I wear my yellow Gophies hat, I am in my "represtenting" phase. This is almost all the time. My other common stocking cap, is my Munsons Feed cap. This I wear when I am feeling a little weird. It's baby blue in color, with 4 red spots, each bearing the Munsons logo. On the top there is a big red poofy ball deal. You may have remembered when I did my speech in my tuxedo and this hat. I like to wear it because I get the compliments and stares because it is a little goofy. I try not to over-wear it though, so that I do not wear out its specialness. My third stocking cap is my black and orange Wartburg College cap. This is saved for SUPER special occasions. Actually, I only wear it when I am doing my covert op. "Tom Foolery" missions. To totally understand what I am talking about with this cap, you will have to email me, because I am not going to publicaly publish my actions.
So that is the scoop on my stocking caps. If you really want to know more.....than you are crazy. I've wanted to write a paper on this subject, though, for a really long time.....so I kinda had to get it out of my system. Aiight peeps, I got a 7:35 tomorrow morning and so I should go to bed.
